Carnival makes Seattle its homeport
It is official that like Holland-America, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity and Princess; Carnival will now use the Port of Seattle as its home base for cruises to Alaska. In response to the ever increasing number of departures from the Emerald City, the Port of Seattle has accommodated the cruise lines with not one but two new cruise terminals. NCL and Celebrity will use the downtown Bell Street Terminal at Pier 66; and the larger mega-ships of Holland-America, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Carnival will be leaving from the brand new Terminal 91 at Smith Cove. The new terminal promises to offer ease of access for embarking and disembarking passengers with a new passenger check-in area, express baggage handling and ample parking.
